Alexander Zverev n'a probablement jamais été aussi fort : vainqueur de Roland-Garros, finaliste à Wimbledon, futur numéro 2 mondial et plus régulier que jamais, l'Allemand semble enfin être devenu le joueur qu'il promettait d'être depuis une décennie. Pourtant, au milieu de cette saison exceptionnelle se trouve une anomalie : Jannik Sinner. Quatre confrontations en 2026, quatre défaites, zéro set remporté, et désormais neuf victoires consécutives pour l'Italien dans leur face-à-face. Alors cette finale de Wimbledon représente-t-elle enfin la libération de Zverev ou assiste-t-on à la naissance d'une véritable malédiction sportive ? Dans cette preview, on décrypte les clés tactiques du match, l'évolution spectaculaire du jeu de Zverev cette saison, les raisons profondes de la domination de Sinner dans cette rivalité et la question qui plane au-dessus du Centre Court : le meilleur Zverev de l'histoire est-il enfin assez fort pour battre Jannik Sinner ?

Bij de vrouwen weten we al wie er in de finale staan en het leuke is dat dat een volledig Tsjechisch onderonsje is. Linda Nosková en Karolína Muchová staan zaterdag tegenover elkaar op het Centre Court. De mannen spelen vanmiddag hun halve finales en in dat toernooi loopt toch wel de grootste verrassing rond. In de Engelse media werd de run van wildcardspeler Arthur Fery al omgedoopt tot 'Ferytale'. Zijn tegenstander is Alexander Zverev, de nummer twee geplaatst van dit toernooi. Gaat dit sprookje verder? Tot slot is er ook de kraker tussen Jannik Sinner en Novak Djokovic, waar veel van wordt verwacht. We spraken erover met Steffan Kok van TENNiS Magazine en De Tennistafel podcast.

How much regret will Tiafoe have after failing to take any of his nine set points in the third? And just how far can Dimitrov go?

Wimbledon, ein sonniger Tag oberhalb des berühmtesten Tennisrasens der Welt. Abseits von Centre Court und Tribünen liegt Wimbledon Village. Grün, weitläufig, fast ländlich. Herrenhäuser aus dem 19. Jahrhundert, offene Commons, Reitwege, kleine Seen. Ein Ort, den viele übersehen und der doch zu den schönsten Ecken Londons gehört. In dieser Folge BRITPOD – England at its best erkundet Alexander-Klaus Stecher gemeinsam mit dem britischen Komponisten Richard Blackford Wimbledon Village. Blackford ist an diesem Tag Stadtführer und zugleich Protagonist eines musikalischen Höhepunkts am Abend. Ein Spaziergang durch Geschichte, Architektur und Alltagsleben, vorbei an Buchläden in Familienbesitz, traditionsreichen Pubs und der berühmten Reitschule mitten im Ort. Wimbledon Village erzählt von England jenseits der Metropole. Von Weite mitten in der Stadt, von Lebensqualität, die sich nicht aufdrängt. Hier treffen sich seit Jahrhunderten Sport, Kultur und Natur. Dichter wie Robert Graves wurden hier geboren, Musiker finden Inspiration, und selbst das Reiten durch die Straßen gehört zum gewohnten Bild. Der Tag führt weiter zur Musik. Im Rahmen des Wimbledon International Music Festival erlebt ein neues Werk von Richard Blackford seine Uraufführung. Ein Streichquartett, inspiriert von einem ukrainischen Volkslied, interpretiert vom renommierten Sacconi Quartet. Ein stiller, intensiver Moment, der zeigt, wie sehr Orte, Menschen und Kunst miteinander verbunden sind. Zwischen Spaziergang, Pubbesuch und Konzert entsteht ein Porträt eines Viertels, das Geschichte bewahrt und zugleich lebendig bleibt. Wimbledon Village als Ort der Ruhe, der Kreativität und der Begegnung. Was macht Wimbledon Village so besonders im Schatten des großen Tennisturniers? Wie lebt es sich an einem Ort, der Natur, Kultur und Stadt vereint? Und warum entstehen gerade hier ganz besondere Musik, Gespräche und Geschichten? BRITPOD – England at its best.

Moments after Grigor Dimitrov's shocking retirement at two sets to love up against Jannik Sinner, Catherine, David and Matt were live to feel their feelings and review the day. Part one - We start by reacting to the heartbreaking moment Dimitrov had to retire against Sinner after tearing his pec. We discuss the devastation on Centre Court, the way Dimitrov had been outplaying Sinner up until that point, and the uncertainty facing Sinner as he goes into the next round having not won a set and having hurt his elbow after taking a fall in the opening game. In the quarter-finals Sinner will face Ben Shelton who beat Lorenzo Sonego for the third straight major in a really fun match. Can Shelton trouble Sinner? There's also an assessment of the difficulty Novak Djokovic had against Alex de Minaur, the way he turned the match around, and how he might fare against Flavio Cobolli in the last eight. Part two (38m55s) - In the women's draw, Mirra Andreeva impressed on her Centre Court debut by beating Emma Navarro, Belinda Bencic eventually came through against Ekaterina Alexandrova, Iga Swiatek didn't have too much trouble against Clara Tauson, and Liudmila Samsonova is finally putting her game together at a slam.Part three (56m11s) - A look ahead to tomorrow's quarter-finals and the moment Reggie got a selfie with Roger Federer.

Ben is joined for the final time during this Wimbledon by Ricky Dimon, to discuss the fourth round matches that were played and how the quarterfinals and beyond are shaping up. We start with the bleakest moment in recent tennis memory, when Grigor Dimitrov was up two sets to none on an injured Jannik Sinner, only to suffer his own sudden acute pectoral injury and be forced to retire mid-match for the fifth major tournament in a row. We then discuss Sinner's not-great health outlook as well, and then shift to the rest of the happenings in the middle round of Wimbledon, including the wildness of the utter failure of automated electronic line calling on Centre Court during Pavlyuchenkova-Kartal.  Thank you for listening! Our Patreon is back up and running to ensure NCR keeps going and stays ad-free, and we hope you can join in supporting NCR!

On Day 3 at Wimbledon, the tennis continued to be dramatic, with more seeds falling in what is rapidly becoming the major theme of this tournament. In part 1 Catherine, David and Matt begin by discussing the defeat of a weary-looking Jasmine Paolini by Kamilla Rakhimova. Emma Raducanu impressed against Marketa Vondrousova, but what chance does she have against Aryna Sabalenka? We also talk about a strong performance from Madison Keys, Matt's getting excited and nervous about Amanda Anisimova's draw, and we cover disappointment for Boulter who once again lost a match at Wimbledon when she was the favourite. In part 2 (40m34s) we look at the men's draw, which has opened up further with the loss of Frances Tiafoe to a revitalised Cameron Norrie, and Lehecka to an inspired Bellucci. There's excitement about the match that's been set up between Fonseca (who beat Brooksby in arguably the best match of the day) and the resurgent Nicolas Jarry. The prospect of Chilean against Brazilian fans in round 3 is tantalising. And Taylor Fritz will finally get a day off tomorrow after delaying the pod once again with his late night five-set victory over Gabriel Diallo. There's also plenty of coverage of Carlos Alcaraz's victory over plucky Brit Oliver Tarvet. In part 3 (66m58s) we look ahead to tomorrow's order of play, in particular Dan Evans getting the chance to take on Novak Djokovic on Centre Court.
